Do you know approximately how long the lights will operate on a set of batteries? Thanks for any information you can provide.

Not long enough. You need rechargeable batteries and a charger. I put a high wattage bulb in my usual lamp and bought a "pharmacy pole lamp" from e-bay which swings over right above my project from the other side (no shadows from my hands) and a regular around the neck magnifier with no light.

I see your point. You think the solar panel on the light should be sufficient to make these work without batteries, but that's not how it works. These lights have a small solar panel that is attached to the batteries and which charge the batteries to make them work. As opposed to regular batteries which will die within a few days, the solar panel charges and recharges these batteries to make them last a year or two.

Not sure, the lights stopped working before the batteries had a chance to get drained. Horrible Product.

Ours lasted about a month with average batteries. However when we went to change them as the piece twisted off so did the wires. So it's non working. We never attempted the others. I left them up because they look impressive but no flashing lights anymore.

I can't give you a specific time these last, but I have had excellent performance out of them. I use them at night to light up my camper and I have been out as long as two weeks and they made the trip on a single set of batteries.

I'm not sure, but if you search through other Q&As; (which you should always do before asking a question), another person answered your question with this: "About 12 hours, at which time the lights begin to grow dim." So I'd go with that. (Of course, we're talking about a fresh set of batteries; older, previously used batteries, may last much less time.)

I haven't had to change the batteries yet and the light doesn't get that all that much use since I have it outside over a shed door opening. I've had the light since early in the summer so it's been approx. 4 months. Sorry I'm not more help.

Hi there - not sure. We used the batteries that came with the lights and no issues for us, but we don't need them to stay on all night.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)

They will last through the night but only one (or maybe two) nights. The battery would quickly be extinguished and you would probably spend a lot on replacing the battery every other night. I also use a nightlight but I use a small light that plugs into the wall with a nightlight bulb in it. I also have one of these http://www.amazon.com/GE-Flower-Design-Incandescent-51386/dp/B002DNG9A2/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1410570644&sr=8-18&keywords=night+light which works really well. Hope that helps! These Mushroom lights are still fun and are really good for a few hours a night!

They can last anywhere from 1-2 yrs before you have to replace them. It is easy to change the battery and it uses 1 AAA rechargeable battery. You can order the AAA batteries on line if you can not find them in stores where solar lights are sold.

Probably an hour or two... But it really depends how long the string of LED are... I can't really say for sure... They're not that costly so buy 'em and try 'em to see... If you have a dimmer they will last longer.

They are water powered, no batteries so I guess they last as long as the LEDs. Probably a really long time given most LEDs last over 40,000hrs.

It depends in what do you gonna use them. In a hand lamp about 6 hours without turn it off. But they are the best. :)

I have to say that I don't know precisely. My experience with battery lights this bright is that the burn time at full power will not be long, something less than an hour. I have had it going full for possibly 30 minutes without a decrease that I noticed.

They won't last very long I'm sorry to say. I left mine on the 'timer' setting expecting to enjoy them off and on using the remote control. The batteries were dead in less than 2 weeks.
